Recently, I celebrated my 29th year of life. Without modesty I can say that I was born in the most beautiful sign in the most beautiful day, June 4th. I felt like a fish in water being born in the Gemini sign and I have always taken the advantages but I also accepted the less pleasant parts assuming each crazy idea or attitude that I had, with pride and maturity.
I am an eternal fan of honest people, of those who have a drop of madness and courage and of those who are proud of what they have, no matter how little it is. I am strongly tied to family, friends, people and places. Word “home” means to me wherever I feel good, even in a small Dormitory room next to some special people. I believe that everything in life happens for a reason and man’s big problem is that he understands the purpose later in time but just at the right time. I believe in fate and that somehow our footsteps follow a written pattern and we become what we are supposed to be but I also believe that man can choose to be good and this is kind of or ultimate duty, of each of us.

Here’s how I spoiled my colleagues at work for my birthday.
Alcoholic cherry balls, which are made of:

500 gr cocoa biscuits, crushed

100 gr margarine

150 ml of milk

4 Tbs sugar

And cherries from a special alcoholic cherry drink we make in Romania in summer time

The process is quite simple. Crushed biscuits are put together with the margarine, milk, sugar and rum. Stir until you get a malleable paste. Then take some in your hand and make a ball with a fruit stuffing inside and roll it through some coconut flakes. Leave them in the fridge a few hours and enjoy it quickly.
Besides these balls I love since childhood, I made a cake with two simple tops and cream ganache over which I shaved some black chocolate.

Visine are one of the wonders of the world! I waited for them each June when I was in Romania and ate kilos for as long as they were on the trees. I did plant two in my garden here in the UK but now I no longer have a garden so the one which survived did not come with me when I moved. Other than that, I have never seen one in Britain. But I do have some visinata (and afinata, made by me almost ten years ago and still improving!) and prompted by your post I have a glass next to me now. Belated HAPPY BIRTHDAY🙂
